- Hyundai IONIQ 5 vs Kia EV6 vs Tesla Model Y |
Let’s say you’re looking to get into a nice new EV… you want plenty of space, good range, fast charging and you have a decent budget. Well, we reckon that this trio should definitely be on your shopping list.
Today, we’re taking a look at three exceptional SUVs. Two of them are coming out of Korea…the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and the Kia EV6. Although both share a huge amount of DNA, especially under the skin, there are some differences between them. But there’s plenty of competition in the market and the Tesla Model Y is establishing itself as a real favourite. So we’re gonna dive into the details and see how these EVs compare. Stick around for the details
So what really separates these three fantastic cars, and why would you buy one over the other? Oh man, we’re going to have to sit on the fence here, because all three cars are just so good!
Price is not a major factor as all three are so close, a mere £2,000 or so separating them. Although you can sacrifice some performance and get the cheaper Single Motor variants of the Hyundai and Kia, that actually have slightly improved range also. The Kia and Hyundai probably have the more premium feel inside, and many will respond to knowing a brand much better than the relatively new Tesla. The ride is also more comfortable, with the Tesla feeling the bumps and ramps more.
For many, the efficiency of the Tesla, coupled with the incredible Supercharger network wins out. Especially if you regularly drive long distances, there really isn’t a better road tripper. The integration of the app with the car is also superb.
For some people, space and practicality will be more important. In that case, the Tesla is much bigger, with a huge frunk also. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
My vote goes to the EV6. Its well build, looks good & drives well.
Yep, it certainly does all those things...and more! Thanks for the comment!
Sadly Kia doesn’t qualify for the federal tax credit of 7500 :(
@@PotluckLockthey are giving 7k off the price right now lease and purchase both.
Had my EV6 for 18months and love it. Brilliant vehicle that continues to turn heads.
Ioniq 5 for me. Just does it for me. Would never by a Tesla. I don't trust Tesla (Elon mostly) and as an IT professional, I just would never feel comfortable driving around a custom linux box that Tesla has real-time root/admin access to at all times. Nope. The cult-like following that Tesla has (and seems kind of to like/demand) just turns me off as well.
Yeah, the Ioniq5 is lovely...it's great we have so much competition now! Thanks Will!
@BestElectricVehicle once Hyundai goes onto the Tesla superchargers in the US, I'd consider it as well
As I spend 2 hours a day in the car, comfort are essential. Been testing Ioniq5, Model Y and ended up ordering EV6. Model Y was like driving a tractor. Bumpy and noisy. Ioniq5 was really good, and so was the EV6. I love the Ioniq5's design, but EV6 are a better deal.
I have similar story. I got EV6 AWD
Same here ev6 was cheaper and better deal l. Although I like ioniq5 look.
Bought the Ioniq 5. Free level 1 charger, free level 2 charger if you pay whatever it costs over $600 to put it in. 5k rebate (bought Oct 23) and a couple thou cheaper than EV6 at least here and now.
Much more room inside while being a smidge smaller outside, better outward visibility.
I do favor EV6 looks.
Why did you dash on the charging speed for Ioniq 5 & EV 6, it goes from 10-80 % in 18 minutes while Tesla Y needs 27 minutes, suddenly those numbers were not mentioned but the numbers of the trunk capacity were. what a bad way to approach things
Great comparison video! I went with the hyundai i5, hope to see one in my driveway soon within 4 to 6 weeks😊
I own a Kia EV6, awd,fun to drive, especially in the sport mode, the driving experience is much like driving a gas model, so the learning curve, I think would be shorter and more convenient.
We've driven all 3. The EV 6 GT is by far the fastest. We enjoyed the Model Y for the space and the technology. The ioniq 5 seemed to be geared toward an older population. We are thinking of waiting for the EV 9.
I was split between Tesla model y and Nissan ariya 87kwh, in the end the difference was that PCP from Nissan was HALF that from Tesla, the Ariya was much more comfortable and we do not do many long range drives. Was a hard choice. Good review btw, clear, main points and you cut out all the excitable crap and endless swooning over pixels or line than many other reveiwers insist on.
I am in the market for one of these and the choice is hard. Purely based on range and performance the Tesla wins, but I like the looks of the Kia and Hyundai more. I guess I'll have to test drive all of them to see which one fits my daily use best
We got an Ioniq 5 and a Model Y so we feel like we're getting the best of both worlds :D
Ohhh, that's a nice driveway! Thanks for the comment!
That is my dream!
c'mon - Which do you like better?
After The second testdrive on same route, I tolk The EV6. I just felt it as my tailored jacket. It simply fits best.
That's exactly why I ordered this car...today. Unfortunately I have to wait at least 8 months to get the Moonscape matte paint that 's the only colour I like.
Fantastic to see Martyn again. The question of the video though is an easy one for me is the Ioniq 5 hands down.
We won't argue with you Tassie, fine choice! Great that there's loads of options now!
Thanks for another interesting video. I've had an e-Niro now for 4 years...a proper 'long termer'😊..but have noticed how the prices of the new Niro EV are up there with the RWD model Y now, certainly in France where I live. The hard ride and general lack of refinement is a criticism others have made of the Y but I heard that more recent German made cars use a revised suspension which rides a lot better. Just wondered what your take is on that.
We drove a German Model Y LR about 3 months ago. Certainly firmer than the competition. It didn't bother us but we see why some people aren't fans of the suspension. Thanks for the comment!
I'm a bit biased cuz I own one, but because I cross shopped all these vehicles, my vote goes to the Mach-E. Tie breaking factor for me was the combination of a gauge cluster, 360 camera, rear cross-traffic alerts, SiriusXM radio, and wireless CarPlay/Android Auto...all of which were on my must-have list, and none of the other cars offer all of them.
Can't argue you with you there Adam, that Mach e is a lovely thing. We tested it last month and loved it!
The difference in charging is big, because the 800 volt is that much faster on the Hyundai Ioniq 5 than a Tesla 400 volt system on public chargers. When I do charge the I5 in even 150 volt EA chargers and when it works, it's constantly showing 21 to 25 minutes to charge, depending on temperature. The Tesla, I'm getting on 250 supercharger are always showing 27 to 30 minutes charge time for similar condition (I charge to 80%). That's the difference with having driven vs owning like the author, you know the details a little bit more.
In Europe we have a a big non Tesla charging network, so Tesla chargers are not a game changer at all. Often the other networks are cheaper than Tesla, so many Tesla drivers are using the other networks too. Tesla chargers are only at the highways and so they are only relevant for longer trips. For everey day you use other options. The quality of the Teslas is very bad even the ones from Shanghai or Grünheide are not at the level of any competitor. In Germany we have mandatory car checks for safety. First one after 3 years anbd from there on every 2 years. At the first check after 3 years Tesla has a failure rate which is the badest of the complete industry. 13% of all cars have failures related to the safety. Suspension and even corossion are big points there. I hopefully get my Ioniq 5 before christmas.
I'm going to wait for the EV9. I don't really need a 3rd row, but it looks like it might be worth waiting for. My current car is an ID4. Its problems are the stuff of legends, but since I've only had it for about 1.25 years, I can afford to wait a little longer before getting rid of it.
That EV9 is a monster for sure. So many options coming on stream these days! Thanks for the comment!
I waiting for my new ev6, currently got the new niro love it,just want the ev6 more
You are correct on every point, but from a driver's standpoint, the EV6 GT is one of the best vehicles I have driven in 28 years as an automotive reviewer.
I bought the Model Y Performance... and everyday the car convince me I made the right choice.
Wowza, and that thing is fast! Congrats on the purchase!
KIA EV6…, period. Case closed.
You seem sure! EV6 is great, and we're just delighted there's so much competition now. Thanks for the comment!
I put money down on the EV6 but three offers from KIA are $20,000 higher then original and MSRP. Because of this I am looking at Tesla again.
I chose the IONIQ 5. I have a ‘23 Polestar 2 LRDM with Pilot option, but would’ve purchased the IONIQ 5 w/ limited trim if it was available to me last year. Never considered Tesla products, or the company.
Evil Elon.... baaaaad. No Tesla for me. (Plus he loves trump.) Ioniq 5 won me by a smoother-riding mile.
EV6 all day, everyday
Currently in the early stages of deciding between the ev6 and the ioniq 5. I’ve commuted 90mi/day for the last 4 years in my Nissan Leaf. I need more range for cold weather driving. I’m tired of not being able to use the heater and still chance needing to charge, even with 150mi range. I know that the Kia NiroEV has an optional heat pump. Do either the ev6 or Ioniq 5 offer this option?
Ioniq 5 uses heat pump technology to heat the seats. Not sure about the EV6.
In America it's the 7500 tax credit for the Tesla and charging stations, that really helped them with sales and the two don't get that tax credit, but Kia and Hyundai are great EVs and they look good, and great technology so I think tax credit , will not be in the decision for most going forward, Tesla sales did drop, due to competition.
Non of them. I’ll go for the MG4 long range Troffy.
So when you own them you quickly realize how much the Tesla supercharger network is a game changer if you ever travel outside your home city. The CCS and DCFC networks are just not able to complete yet. Broken and non functioning chargers are common outside of tesla. Also the ability to get OTA updates regularly which the korean cars do for only maps and radio but not really any functions, still have to go to the dealer for those. And finally Sentry mode is important to me. Not sure why all cars don't have it. These three things make the tesla better to own not just test drive, IMO. I owned an EV6 first edition from March 22 to March 23 and the $7500 tax credit helped make sure I didn't lose money when I sold it. Another thing, Tesla will hold their value much better, just check the preowned prices.
What is the approximate monthly insurance price on model y?
I got the Ioniq 5...the difference between it and the EV6 are minimal. The Tesla is outdated as it currently sits. I would buy an EV6...just happened to like the looks of the 5 better...matter of taste.
Ioniq5 for the looks
Buy the Tesla, Lease a Hyundai / Kia. I really like the look of the Ioniq 5, but after hearing the horror stories about the Hyundai support experience, the model Y was a no-brainer. The model Y is a robot first and a car second; I like that!
Tesla kills owner/passenger during self driving autopilot 😢
@icared4338 the European car safety body declared the Model Y as the safest car they ever tested in part because of Autopilot. The Irish also gave the Model Y its highest safety rating explicitly calling out the ADAS. You sound like a car salesman. I understand your fear of Tesla. It is a better car that costs less and is sold without dealing with sleazy car salesman.
and the winner is .............drum roll............ TMY
Can't really argue with you there Andi! Suppose they've all got their strengths and weaknesses! Thanks for commenting!
I dislike Tesla but the other cars have puny ranges and are increasingly expensive.
In the last 5 years, Ive never driven more than 250 miles on a single trip with either an ICE or an EV, so any of these would be absolutely fine for me.
Their rangers are hardly puny. Maybe if ya were talking about the Honda e or the Zoe. Over 400km in winter and nearly 500km in summer isn't to be sneezed at.
Puny seems a little unfair, but we do accept the Tesla advantage for range and charging! Thanks for the comment!
@@restyle100 Sounds like you've been driving the wrong car for long trips.😜
where is that $7500 tax credit? LMAO.......the winner is already there.
I got the 7500 on my Hyundai I 5, bought it last June before the cut off. My husband has the LRY, I was jealous of his better technology and traded my Hyundai for a Model 3 last November. I’ve been tracking the Hyundai, It still hasn’t been sold. I was worried about the 12 V battery issue some of the Hyundai’s have been experiencing. I loved the car, but Tesla has a proven track record and over the air updates that Hyundai lacks. I haven’t regretted the trade in.
Tesla, no doubt.
EV6 & IONIQ5 very cluttered exterior that makes no sense. Duck tail? My problem is the Korean cars still have fuses and a lot more failure points when manufactured. Hyundai and Kia is making these as compliance cars. Not manufacturing enough to sell losing money on each car. BTW the dealers add $18,000 to the MSRP
Ioniq 5 all the way, tesla drives like 1986 Yugo.
